Situated in a basement below an Aerated Bread Company tea shop, opposite Ealing Broadway station, it was reached by descending the narrow steps of the alley that leads to Haven Place, between the tea shop and what at the time was a jeweller's shop. “The club held only 200 when you packed them all in” Korner recalled, “and there was only about 100 people in all of London that were into the blues and all of them showed up at the club that first night”.[2]

Sometimes referred to as the Ealing Blues Club, the venue is now a nightclub called The Red Room, formerly known as Club Azur. A one-time manager of the Ealing Club was Fery Asgari.

In the late 1960s, the venue operated as a disco called Tabby's often frequented by students from Ealing Art College.

In 2011, a community group of Ealing residents, musicians and music fans known as The Ealing Club initiated a campaign to bring back live music to the venue and highlight its important contribution in the development of British blues and rock. The group's first three events were held on the nights of 18–20 July 2011, with proceeds going towards the installation of the blue plaque unveiled on 17 March 2012.
